Look at me posting 3.. yes 3 times this week! I'm so happy I finally found a few minutes to blog! Here are 5 things for the week..<br />
<br />
+ Here is a sneak peak from our photographer we had this past weekend at the beach. I was worried we wouldn't get one single decent picture because Cameron refused to nap that day and Bennett was not interested in paying anyone any attention. Bennett was busy digging in the sand like it was his job! But this one.. be still my heart! I'm equally nervous and excited to see how the rest turned out!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ Saw this on Facebook and kinda got emotional (ok- EVERYTHING makes me emotional these days but still). So much truth in this for me!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ Who is over half way done with Christmas shopping?.. Wait yes this lady! I know I'm ridiculous but it feels so good to not have to worry about shopping and just enjoy the holidays with my little family and the real reason for the season!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
+ Yesterday we took Cameron back to the doctor for what I felt like was the 100th time lately. Poor baby has still had a cough that just won't go away. Our doctor listened and asked.. who has asthma? I raised my hand. I have allergies, asthma, acid re-flux, and syncope. Well it's looking like this poor kid has asthma and acid re-flux (we've known about this for awhile). He is showing signs of allergies but I keep praying that is not true. They sent him for a chest x-ray just to make sure there isn't anything else going. They put him in a hospital gown. I LOST it! Thank god my husband was there to take him back. It was all I could do to hold it together with Bennett. They got the report back super fast. Normal except for ASTHMA! Poor baby is on breathing treatments 5 times a day!!! We go back in a week to re-evaluate further treatment. Please keep him in your prayers! Send wine for me. #allthemomguilt</div>

<br />
If you had told me.. how hard Mommy life is I wouldn't believed you. I would have sighed and thought well you probably got pregnant easily so this is the hard part. Well now I understand. I understand more than I ever thought. There is a tiny human (in my case 2!) that depend on you for EVERYTHING! You jump at every sigh, whimper, gasp, laugh, and cry to be there by their side. And heaven for bid that tiny human is sick. It will drain every last bit of life of you Momma. But it's short lived.<br />
<br />
If you had told me.. that the nights are long and the days are short. I would have laughed. How can being up all night make the days so much shorter. But boy oh boy do they! I seriously feel like the last year of my life has passed as so quickly as a bat of an eye. There were more times in a haze or fog than not. More days of me praying for it to slow down than I can even count.<br />
<br />
If you had told me.. that you will fight to not lose yourself in this thing called motherhood. I would have doubted you. I mean how could want to be anything more than a Mommy?! There are moments when I miss my old childless self. The thoughts of shopping, eating out, mani's/pedi's or getting things accomplished will fill my mind. But it's brief and you are reminded of this wonderful tiny human that is so much more fulfilling than any of the empty routines you were used to. Don't get me wrong. You need to still fulfill those things every once in a while. You still need to be you but a different you.<br />
<br />
If you had told me.. that I would come to appreciate my mother on a completely different level. I would have believed you but I would have never understood the magnitude. I wouldn't have made it through this past year without her. Something about being a Momma- you just know things about your kids. I could just call my Mom and say Hey.. she could hear it my voice. She would say.. I'll be there as soon as I can. Usually in a few hours (she lives about an hour away). She would drop everything. Work, life, plans.. EVERYTHING to be there. Whether it was watching my babies so me and my husband could sleep, cooking food, cleaning my house, laundry. I didn't ask my Mom. I never had to.. Momma's just know! At least mine does and I'm forever grateful, appreciate, and love her even more than I imagined.<br />
<br />
If you had told me.. that finding feel quality to spend with your spouse would become almost impossible. I wouldn't have thought that spending time with your kiddos and husband wouldn't be the same. We struggled but are VERY fortunate to have so many family members willing to help with the boys. The time spent as a family isn't quality time with your spouse. It's all about your kids. That's not a bad thing but you need time just the two of you. Just to talk. Enjoy a quiet meal. Have a drink or just get out of the house. It's become imperative in our marriage to find even just an hour of quality time together makes us better parents.<br />
<br />
If you had told me.. that I would barely see my friends the first year. I wouldn't have been able to fathom this. I prided myself on having some of the best friends you could ask for and seeing them somewhat often. Once these monkeys came into my life. I became all consumed. I leave them all week, how could I leave them again? Truth we all become busy bees. It's not a bad thing and I'm fortunate to have such amazing friends that we all still talk regularly. I treasure our time a lot more these days as it's a lot a fewer time than I ever imagined.<br />
<br />
If you had told me.. that leaving my tiny humans with someone else for work would be this hard, I wouldn't have thought it possible. I mean it's just leaving them so you can work?! I've cried more days than not. I miss my babies more than I ever thought possible. I NEVER thought I would ever want to stay at home. I seriously debated selling our house so I wouldn't have to go back to work. It was WAY harder than I ever thought imaginable. I think of every worst case scenario. I curse myself for not making better career decisions earlier in life. I pray about this EVERY day. Some days are easier than others. Some I feel like every four letter word possible for leaving my boys with someone else to care for during the day. I feel like I've missed so much!<br />
<br />
If you had told me.. that being a good Mommy and a good Full Time employee is impossible. I wouldn't have thought so seeing my amazing coworkers. But let me tell you.. I struggle. If the boys are doing well and sleeping well. I am on my A game. If one baby, both, or worse all three of us are sick.. God helps us. I'm doing good to function during the day. Much less stay on top of work, blog, stay organized, and etc. It all goes to survival mode and I'm doing the bare minimum at most.<br />
<br />
If you had told me.. that this entire experience would leave me grateful yet still longing for a third baby. I would have probably slapped you. I've always wanted two kids. My husband is adamant we are done. I'm still struggling if I am okay with that. I want to provide the best Mommy to my children. I want to provide them with things I never dreamed of not to mention college. Maybe I just long for another cuddly squishy baby but my jury is still out on this one. I will say that I won't do any fertility regimes but if God was willing- I would be over the moon grateful!<br />
<br />
If you had told me.. that I would become one of those Moms that cries at everything! I mean EVERYTHING! I would have rolled my eyes at you. Because those people were just annoying to even be around. I mean to cry? It used to make me super uncomfortable. Now.. I cry at everything too. I'm one of those!<br />
<br />
If you had told me.. that your heart would fill so full. I would have never grasped it. It's unlike anything you can explain. This tiny human was inside you, from you, a part of you. It's completely unlike anything I've ever experienced. I can't even describe how much I love my two little monkeys. I'm still in awe that God entrusted me to be their Mommy.<br />

How is it not Friday yet? We have some sort of plague that refuses to leave our house. The boys were at the doctor twice last week and just finished antibiotics but we ALL seem to have some cough that refuses to go away. Fun times! Praying this nonsense leaves ASAP!<br />
<br />
+ Last week I helped throw a shower for a dear friend. I didn't take one single picture. I mean WTF is wrong with me?! I was in charge of cupcakes so naturally I ordered some. They were so pretty when I picked them up at lunch. After this ridiculous heat and humidity and riding in my car from 4-6. This is what they ended up looking like. I was so sad!<br />

+ My boys were holy terrors Tuesday night. Of course my husband was off playing softball so I was solo. They were whiny fussy babies- I'm blaming that on the lack of naps from the day. They were into EVERYTHING they weren't supposed to.. tables, fireplace, cords. To top off the night while I was changing Bennett.. Cameron decided to play with some books off his shelf. Well, he pulled on the shelf and this happened..</div>

We moved you both to your big boy <a href="https://us.britax.com/car-seats/marathon-clicktight/">car seats</a> this month. Mommy couldn't handle carrying you anymore in the bucket seats. You both seem to have adjusted well to your new seats. I can't believe that we are less than 2 months away from your first birthdays. It feels like yesterday I was VERY pregnant and you were born. Time flies when you're having fun! </div>

<br />
I know I know.. I suck at this whole blogging thing lately. Honestly I feel like I've sucked at life. I have had 4 blissful nights of uninterrupted sleep and it has been a God sent! First time of consecutive sleep since my little monkeys made their debut into the world. I'm praying it's a new normal because the last few weeks have had me spiraling out of it. I don't know how you Mommy's of more than one kiddo do it. Kudos! I have so much to learn from you all! Here are a few highlights of my life lately..<br />
<br />
+ My house.. well it's a wreck! No sleep, trying to feed babies, bathe babies, work, vacay, birthday parties.. well the house is on the back burner and I hate that. I want to hire someone but my husband says no unless I cut back on spending. I may or may not be looking for quotes behind his back. Sometimes you just gotta do it!<br />
<br />
+ My phone.. completely full of pictures of my kiddos and zero room for anything else. I mean not even room for an app update. Sadly most of the pictures are old. I wasn't able to take one single picture with my phone on vacay. I MUST sit down and transfer them all over so I can free up some space. And how do you delete those sweet faces from your phone?! Mommy issues.<br />
<br />
+ My computer.. well it's on the fritz. I think it has a virus. I attempted to take it to the geek squad but I could buy a brand new laptop for what they wanted to charge me for a virus clean up. I mean that's ridiculous. I need to find someone savvy in computers and pay them in alcohol.. any takers?<br />
<br />
+ Work.. has been well just INSANE. I like that I am busy but some days I can't even think straight. Very thankful to have a job but some days I wish I could just be home with my monkeys. A girl can dream, right?<br />
<br />
+ My boys.. have been so fun lately. Bennett has started trying to give angel kisses but he just rests his forehead to yours. He puts his little hand on my face and I just melt! Cameron is a pro at angel kisses and thinks they are hilarious. He has the sweetest laugh and that kid is into EVERYTHING! They will be 10 months old on Saturday (excuse me while I hold back tears). They are my heart!<br />
<br />
+ Vacay.. well vacay was ok. Too short! It started off with funeral services for one of my husbands dearest friends. He was in a car accident the week before July 4th and never recovered. His injuries were too extensive. I wasn't close with Ryan but it hit me harder than I expected. He was a father.. of two little girls- 7 and 9. Breaks my heart that they won't their Daddy to watch them grow. I couldn't even talk to his wife. All I could do was cry and hug her. I can't imagine my husband leaving us and our boys. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Out of this tragedy something amazing resulted. Ryan was able to save 3 people by donating his organs and possibly 3 more with his bone marrow. Please keep all of these families in your prayers. So after this I was emotionally and physically drained to kick off vacay. I didn't get much accomplished. I didn't take but like 2 pictures of the boys but I soaked up every minute possible. I lived in the moment and hugged my babies a little tighter so overall it was good.<br />
<br />
+ Baby Food.. I've made everything possible for my boys. They LOVE food and have become little eating machines. I love knowing what they are eating but I will tell ya.. I hit a wall the other week because I felt like I couldn't keep up. I almost broke down and went to buy prepackaged food. Then I just decided to try to eat more of what the boys can eat and that's helped a bit. They are getting to the point where they'd rather eat off my plate anyways.<br />
<br />
So my friends.. I'm a HOT MESS but I'm trying to regroup around here. Slowly but surely. And if you made it this far- I'm in SHOCK! Happy Thursday Lovies!<br />

You aren't the biggest fan of water. You are over it in about 30 mintues. You are seriously into everything! I can't turn my back for a second. You love crawling around under my feet in the kitchen and pulling on my ankles. You want to see what I'm doing. You will follow me carrying your brother in the room to be changed and out. You shake your head no and imitate sounds. </div>

<br />
Yes, I am alive over here. Sleep deprived.. oh so sleep deprived but alive. Both boys have had ear infections. Cameron is now on his 2nd round to try to clear it up. Both are taking turns wanting to party all night. One day they will sleep.. hopefully.<br />
<br />
+ I'm in complete DENIAL that my kiddos are 9 months today. I mean how the heck did that happen?<br />
<br />
+ One of my husbands friends growing up was in a horrible car accident. He's hanging on but barely. It really makes you stop and think about life and how short it can be. Prayers please for his recovery- he has two little girls.<br />
<br />
+ Who has time to shop? Momma needs some new clothes and I don't have the time (or $$ really). How do other Mommas get this accomplished? I apparently have zero skills at successfully shopping online. Other thoughts.. tips?<br />
<br />
+ How in the heck do you get your babies to feed themselves? Their little pincher skills are there. They pick up the food, play with it, look at me, smile and promptly throw it all on the floor. I mean really?! Suggestions are appreciated!!<br />
<br />
+ I'm getting lazy making food for the boys. I've made all their pureed food. Some days they are still ok with purees and other they want my food. And not to mention.. they are eating like crazy! Sigh.. if you need me i'll be in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
+ I haven't cooked a SINGLE meal for my and Hubs in forever! The boys food, attempting to keep up a house, and work has taken priority. One day.. Thank you Lord for my sweet Momma and her cooking for us or we might have starved by now.<br />
<br />
+ I've been secretly eating ice cream and other sweets at work so the boys won't see me eating it. They want whatever we are eating and I've been sharing but I don't want them eating ice cream yet. So I hide..<br />
<br />
+ My Hubs and I both really want to move. We don't agree on where. The beach? Build? Neighborhood? I want to be in a neighborhood and would love to stay in ours but can't really afford it. He would love to move to the beach or in the country. The beach wouldn't be so bad except for the whole we both need jobs scenario. The country sounds miserable to me!<br />
<br />
+ I chopped fresh onions last night to freeze and OMG.. my house reeks!!! Any ideas on how to get this smell out of my house asap?!<br />

This is a week late.. Oops! My little monkeys are 8 months old! It's been a crazy month but can't believe how much they have changed. Cameron is crawling and into EVERYTHING! Bennett is working on sitting up and is pissed his brother is mobile and he isn't. It's quite funny to watch some days. Love these boys to the moon and back!!</div>

<b>Milestones: </b>You said Mama on Saturday (5/28/16) and seriously melted my heart!! You patty cake and giggle non stop. You roll ever where and can reach like no one's business. You can sit up for a few seconds on your own and the realize no one is holding you and fall over. </div>

Between 2 sick babies, a sick Mommy, and being out of town the past 2 weekends.. I'm SERIOUSLY looking forward to a weekend at home. Hopefully everyone will be on the mend and a productive weekend. Here are my 5 thoughts for the week...<br />
<br />
+ I'm just being honest but I don't get the off the shoulder tops. I do think they look cute on others but they aren't comfortable to me. I feel awkward in them. Maybe this is a sign that I'm getting old?!<br />
<br />

+ Everyone and their brother keeps asking me if I'm on snapchat.. I haven't mastered instagram yet. Anyone want to give me a tutorial for dummy's real quick?<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

+ My beach bag ripped this weekend :(. I've had it for probably 4 years so I've gotten my money's worth. I had a scout deano bag. Now decisions.. what to get this time? <a href="http://www.scoutbags.com/orange-is-the-new-whack-original-deano-classic-tote">Another deano bag?</a>- I like that I can pile a BUNCH of stuff in there (hence probably the rip) and that's it waterproof. I don't like that the straps tend to be on the short side and that they aren't any inside pockets. I've considered <a href="http://www.scoutbags.com/miss-scarlet-the-bj-bag-multi-pocket-zip-top-tote">the bj style</a> and even <a href="http://shop.haydenreis.com/black-white-tote/">this Hayden Reis Ditty Tote</a>. Not sure if I'm in love with the colors/designs of the bags this year. I've heard so many good things about the Hayden Reis Bag because it's made of sailcloth hence no more rips but I just don't love the patterns. I need to love it for this price. I wanted a nautical theme of colors- not necessarily nautical patterns but navy, red, blue.. you get the idea. Thoughts? Others to consider? I would GREATLY appreciate it!<br />

+ I'm already in planning mode for the boys 1st birthday party. I'm going with a Dr. Seuss- thing 1 thing 2 theme. Any ideas for activities for babies for a party? I have no clue how to entertain babies for a party so any input or ideas would be appreciated! It's going to be on October 1st so the weather is debatable temperature wise here in NC. Thanks in advance!</div>

This is where I was at the moment. I seriously was ready to have another one like yesterday..<br />
<br />
Yes I know.. my boys are only 6 months old but I can't help but wonder if our little family is complete. My Hubs is totally adamant that we are dunzo. I mean I did agree when we FINALLY had a viable pregnancy that this was it. I did agree especially after twins that we would definitely be done. I didn't want to put myself through all that heartbreak and stress again. Well friends.. now I'm just not so sure. Once I held those sweet little faces, everything was totally worth it! So much that you forget all the pain and suffering and just remember that amazing feeling. I still-- hold those sometimes screaming babies and I think- How did I get this lucky? And somehow I have this wondering feeling of.. what about one more?! I'm not saying my boys aren't amazing. They are my greatest, best, miracles from God! No doubt. I'm not saying they don't make me feel like a complete Mommy but I'm just sure I want to be done with a sweet baby. They are growing WAY too fast! Maybe it's just me longing to keep them babies. Maybe it's just me loving the baby stage and already mourning 6 months gone but friends.. I'm thinking hard about this.<br />
<br />
Now I'm 8 months removed and slightly different. I still wonder if our family is complete. I ALWAYS said I wanted two babies. I completely agreed that we would not have any more when finding out we were having twins. I think part of my longing is because my delivery was such a haze. I don't remember holding my babies for the first time or getting much time with them. Breast feeding didn't go as I had hoped because my body lost so much blood it just couldn't produce. Part of me feels like I lost so much precious time that I will never get back. My boys are all I ever could have dreamed of and I'm so grateful for them. I think I'm FINALLY seeing that it's not necessarily another baby I'm wanting is that I'm longing for the time I missed out on. I can't change the past but I can savor every precious moment with my babies that I can. I still don't take as many pictures I sometimes wish but I definitely live in the moments so that's all I can ask for. I've decided I won't be running to my doctor asking for IUI's or tests. I won't be trying but if God decides it's in his plan.. I won't be upset. I will be overly grateful for his wonderful gift. If it doesn't happen.. it's just not his plan and I finally THINK I'm ok with that. I may change my mind in 2 more months..:) We shall see!<br />

Anyone else feel like this week will never end? I think I'm so far past sleep deprived that's not even funny! A 3 day weekend is exactly what this Mommy needs. Here are my confessions for the week..<br />
<br />
+ I totally stole some of my boys applesauce. I try all their food and I swear it's the best damn applesauce I've ever tasted. It's organic gala apples- peeled, diced, and thrown into my Baby Breeza. They love it and I see why!<br />
<br />
+ I fell off my no spending month wagon. The Hubs might kill me! I was doing so well until I got all those Memorial Day sale emails.<br />
<br />
+ I ran into Target yesterday morning to get some salad dressing. I still love thousand island every once in a while. I picked up a bottle of Ken's and was completely grossed out by the ingredients- high fructose corn syrup.. cellulose.. So that nonsense went right back on the shelf.<br />
<br />
+ This 60 degree one day and 90 the next around here is killing my allergies. I've had constant headaches. Mother nature.. please pick a temperature (I don't even care which) and stick with it pretty please?!<br />
<br />
+ C is teething and poor baby isn't sleeping well at ALL.. Which means I'm NOT sleeping well. Please lord grant him some relief so Mommy can get some sleep. Thank you lord that B is good.<br />
<br />
+ I may have the BEST Hubby ever! I was out until 10:30.. cue shocked face because this does NOT happen anymore.. last night with the girls and he sent me a text around 10 saying he was going to sleep in the guest room across from the boys. He would handle them so I could get some sleep. Thankfully Mommy got some sleep and the babies did pretty good for him.<br />
<br />
+ I survived my husbands family reunion weekend. I can't tell you how glad I am to say it went well and it's over until next year.. YAY! I had to share one picture of the boys on the beach. My little beach babies!!<br />

+ I had our last girls dinner with the 3 of us last night. I know she will be back but losing one of your besties to an hour plane ride away=no bueno! Our dinner was amazing! I had to share a picture. Sadly.. we girls didn't take a picture :(.<br />

I know you thought I abandoned this space. Between C being a sick kiddo, then B and I not feeling so hot, husband then caught it, and being in Atlanta for 3 days this little space got put on the back burner. I'm happy to report that everyone seems to be on the mend and we had our very first night of EVERYONE sleeping through the night= ONE HAPPY MOMMY!<br />
<br />
+ Since my Hubs was sick on Cinco de Mayo.. we celebrated at home the next day. <a href="http://www.thefreshmarket.com/">The Fresh Market</a> has Thursday meal deals and May is tacos. We devoured these with a little sangria! I also love when they do their burger meal deals for summer. :)<br />

+ My Hubs traveled out of town for Mother's Day and the day after. We celebrated a day early. I'm kinda sad we didn't get one single picture! We celebrated with lunch at Lucky 32. I seriously love that place! The boys gifted me a few items off my wish list.. <a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/converse-womens-chuck-taylor-dainty-casual-sneakers-from-finish-line?ID=2531404&pla_country=US&CAGPSPN=pla&CAWELAID=120156340005209745&CAAGID=24768201910&CATCI=aud-102345011570:pla-89833969865&catargetid=120156340004042748&cadevice=c&cm_mmc=Google_Womens_Shoes_Adchemy_PLA-_-G_WS_PLA+_FNL+-+Converse_Converse-_-88359118030_-_-_mkwid_LMhQQEhE|dc_88359118030%7C-%7CLMhQQEhE&gclid=CjwKEAjwpfC5BRCT1sKW2qzwqE0SJABkKFKR8uknLa7gbikUxvxt7yrKGPbPpP90PqWQTzlIQKdpKhoCpVfw_wcB">These</a> and <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kendra-scott-kelsie-station-necklace/4153709?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=ROSE%20QUARTZ%2F%20GOLD">this in a sold out green</a> color.

Totally broke my heart. He knows how guilt trip is Mommy!! Coming home to C checking out the <a href="http://www.hannaandersson.com/">Hanna Andersson</a> catalog and B rolling all over the place.. melts my heart!<br />

I hope everyone is having a good week! We are off to Topsail Beach tomorrow for a family reunion. Wish me luck with two kiddos traveling. It's the first time other than my parents already partially stocked beach house. So having to drag everything should be interesting!</div>

These past two weeks have been hectic! I am hoping to have a relaxing Mother's Day weekend ahead before heading out to Atlanta for work for a couple of days. My first over nighters away from the boys- cue <strike>tears</strike> sobbing. I'm sure it will be worse on me than them. Now on my confessions..<br />
<br />
+ Cameron caught his very first stomach bug last week. Woke me up in the middle of the night. I had to throw him in the bath and strip his bed. I was terrified the rest of the night that he would get sick again.<br />
<br />
+ Trying to keep two babies away from each other for fear of the other getting sick was a pure nightmare! They don't get it and it seriously wore me out!<br />
<br />
+ The stomach bug threw BOTH boys schedule out the window. It was awful! Not to mention their sitter went on vacation so they were then looked after by my MIL, step MIL, and then my Mom. So nothing like some constant changing. They FINALLY seem to be getting back into their routine.. for now.<br />
<br />
+ Friday I was so exhausted that I slept in my car for my lunch break. Truth.. first time for everything.<br />
<br />
+ I've been having heart issues again and scares the living day lights out of me. I was sorta hoping it would go away.<br />
<br />
+ After said heart issues now my doctor has retired and no one seems to want to see me. I mean really?!<br />
<br />
+ My husbands 20 something year old coworker was found deceased on Monday after not showing up for work. It has really hit him hard. My heart breaks for him. So sad that a young life was cut so short.<br />
<br />
+ I may or may not have already cried my eyes out about leaving the boys for two nights next week. I know I need to go for work but I would really like to start with one night away.. baby steps.. but I guess I'm jumping in.<br />
<br />
+ My Hubs has caught Cameron's stomach bug this week. I'm praying no one else gets it and whatever it is leaves our house!<br />

<br />
Another week is almost behind us and the weather around NC is absolutely gorgeous! Summer is around the corner and I couldn't be more excited!<br />
<br />
+ I'm sad and down right sickened to hear that Jess had to cancel Confessional Thursday due to some psycho stealing her personal information and passing it off as her own. I mean really?! I need to figure out this watermark of personal picture thing.. pronto!<br />
<br />
+ I've had all intentions of posting about the boys' baptism (which went so smoothly by the way) but my lovely computer has decided it doesn't want to work. I'm currently typing this via my work computer.. SHHHH! So hopefully soon I'll get this thing back up and running or I'll be throwing it out our two story window.. truth!<br />
<br />
+ I'm sorta annoyed at my Hubby.. I don't usually post or say things like this but it's true. My one wish for my first Mother's Day was for the day to be relaxing and not a marathon of food, driving all around, and constant going. He doesn't think that is going to happen. To say I'm upset.. is maybe an understatement. I understand he wants to honor is mother, step mother, and my mother as well but can't we all get one day? Maybe space it out? IDK.. sigh.. How do you handle all the families on events/holidays?<br />
<br />
+ My Hubs has wanted to move to blue water basically sent the moment we were married. I've adamantly refused until last night. I said.. I will consider it. I think I'm just over the madness and want a change of scenery.. or something. IDK.. I'm having a weird week. It may or may not steam from the above.. Total game changer to my mood to say the least.<br />
<br />
+ As the days are flying by.. I feel like I'm missing so much with my boys on a daily basis. I seriously pray about this every night! I NEVER thought I wanted to be a stay at Mom but I desperately wish I had the option these days.<br />
<br />
+ I feel like I'm behind on life.. maybe that is what is up with my mood lately. Behind on laundry, behind on dinner preps, behind on cleaning.. I need to take a step back and just live in the moments. It's also kinda hard when you have 14 family members that want to stop by and see the kiddos with your only time off with them.<br />
<br />
Ok.. I'm going to stop before I post something I regret. Sorry for the bitter.. debbie downer.. post. It's not like me and I hope to snap out of this funk! Friday is around the corner.. the weather is supposed to be gorgeous!.. YAY for the almost weekend!<br />

<br />
Hope everyone is having a good week! Now that the weather is hopefully going to be staying warmer around these parts, I'm looking forward to getting back into some kind of workout/walking routine again. One of my biggest down falls with working out and trying to lose weight is snacking. After working out I used to just grab anything I felt like and sometimes that included ice cream, cookies, and other crap that basically just destroyed anything good I just did for my body. As I've gotten a bit older, I've learned to <a href="https://nuts.com/healthy-snacks">snack a little better</a>. I was excited to hear that <a href="https://nuts.com/healthy-snacks">Nuts.com</a> is looking to highlight bloggers' favorite <a href="https://nuts.com/healthy-snacks/high-protein">high protein snacks</a>. They are the perfect snacks to refuel your body after workouts and to keep you feeling full and satisfied- that's an important to me! Keeping myself healthy and re-energized is top priority when chasing after two 6.5 month babies! They keep me on my toes these days.<br />
<br />
- <a href="https://nuts.com/snacks/soybeans/dry-roasted.html">Dry Roasted Edamame</a>- This is seriously one of my go to's. I keep these at my desk at work.<br />

<br />
-<a href="https://nuts.com/nuts/cashews/roasted-and-salted.html">Roasted Cashews</a>- These are great because I can just grab and go. They also have a spot at my desk.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
- Peanut Butter and Bananas- I started this weird craving when pregnant with my boys and I still love this snack. See my pregnancy craving post. I still love this minus the chocolate milk!<br />

- <a href="https://nuts.com/snacks/jerky/teriyaki.html">Teriyaki Beef Jerky</a>- I will be the first to admit that I used to think that beef jerky was gross. I had actually never tried it when I said but the looks of it completely turned me off. My husband used to constantly talk about how great it was. So finally one day, I caved and it's really good. It actually is a satisfying snack and packed with protein. </div>

I also love that I can just throw it in purse or bag whenever I just need a few bites. The M&M's are definitely a pick me up of chocolate for this chocoholic over here!</div>

Hope everyone is having a good week so far. I am here today to talk about Warby Parker. Have you heard of them? They make fabulous glasses and sunglasses for reasonable prices and donate a pair for every pair purchased to someone in need. I actually heard about them a year or so ago from Emily Ley. She had a pair of glasses on in an Instagram picture and I quickly asked where she got the frames. I had already decided after my eye appointment this summer that a new pair of Warby Parker frames will be mine. So image how excited I was when someone contacted me about reviewing their new sunglasses line.. ummm YES PLEASE!!! I was told at very young age- blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin.. ALWAYS wear sunglasses to protect my eyes. I definitely have taken it seriously. I love having options so checking out all these glasses was pretty much like a kid in a candy store for me! They have classic and fun frames. I like that they are just right hint of trendy for my taste. This is their first Capsule Collection of the Summer and launch of their annual #SeeSummerBetter campaign. It includes 6 new silhouettes and 5 new hues plus a rerun of classic faves done over in a wave of debuting colors. These are all crafted from premium cellulose acetate with flash reflective lenses. They're introducing an additional anti-reflective coating in color on the back of the sun-glass lens- for your eyes only. Below are some of my favorites from their new collection this year!<br />
<br />
<br />
Topper 16- These are a classic style. I LOVE these in their crystal color, I think it's a fun change up and these go with ANYTHING! I'll all about something that I can go with anything. These would be especially fun at the pool!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
EASTMAN- Another classic frame. What can I say, I'm a classic kind of girl. I'm loving the Belize Blue. Still goes with everything but just a fun punch of color.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5eEJp5f8XaJALyjDPPwj6fJ9K6vvvasXIH_A1WYl3gvnfBNJFSVYvkkbiJ5L9MajxnrYDGiPzknS2X_L2cqhj_dUUG_Wupdx5rfl_vyUp3zzdhGP4oZ3DHzkRJEUnDrJ7ETw83275E4Zu/s1600/eastman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5eEJp5f8XaJALyjDPPwj6fJ9K6vvvasXIH_A1WYl3gvnfBNJFSVYvkkbiJ5L9MajxnrYDGiPzknS2X_L2cqhj_dUUG_Wupdx5rfl_vyUp3zzdhGP4oZ3DHzkRJEUnDrJ7ETw83275E4Zu/s320/eastman.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /><!--[endif]--></span></div>
<br />
ROLAND- I'm loving the clear frames in these and they slightly more retro but completely a fun little change up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cpWsWDnd65piQDreqQpGWEuGPCc_8cklrLthpvhWg4gRZb0-qY5oRoGyB6MvOvru8s3T7sZ-6e791J-pQ3OVKjocTM21I6A6uvhfJWfIg_znjz5GeaGgYbc3l4ACK-6e5rQD7eTi3vs1/s1600/Roland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cpWsWDnd65piQDreqQpGWEuGPCc_8cklrLthpvhWg4gRZb0-qY5oRoGyB6MvOvru8s3T7sZ-6e791J-pQ3OVKjocTM21I6A6uvhfJWfIg_znjz5GeaGgYbc3l4ACK-6e5rQD7eTi3vs1/s320/Roland.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
TILLEY- I love that these over-sized frames. The more they block out the sun, the better. They are slightly old Hollywood and right up my alley. I am loving the classic tortoise- like color.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIiDsEDiAvjmLzMjL8Z_jPn1FeECDqKsiINtWlLGlxwzAnmj4SnzjAhROh3H_8zCRg-WHjqySLyDMuSjFleTKncoOD73HZspvfL2pYHrIkUmWyhMRUP3VJ4TaXEyyO8p_gLnpqb9BUIGLD/s1600/Tilley.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIiDsEDiAvjmLzMjL8Z_jPn1FeECDqKsiINtWlLGlxwzAnmj4SnzjAhROh3H_8zCRg-WHjqySLyDMuSjFleTKncoOD73HZspvfL2pYHrIkUmWyhMRUP3VJ4TaXEyyO8p_gLnpqb9BUIGLD/s320/Tilley.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
HATTIE- The sand castle color is fabulous! I love the hints of gold and tans. They are just so different and unique. The fun frame is definitely retro but I love their slightly cat eye style.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdG4_19P1HhkjwvEaL3F9UaSBPD6CqGMTHdLR5cSMs_eBLAqDS3Pet1KJNTE2C2R_gNafJpZnTzbE-UEYh-QcvjdIL6vH7pOLsZ42eMIoPO8DE2QezODPiTE4wcHQ8nsT73S-qJpT-arAi/s1600/Hattie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdG4_19P1HhkjwvEaL3F9UaSBPD6CqGMTHdLR5cSMs_eBLAqDS3Pet1KJNTE2C2R_gNafJpZnTzbE-UEYh-QcvjdIL6vH7pOLsZ42eMIoPO8DE2QezODPiTE4wcHQ8nsT73S-qJpT-arAi/s320/Hattie.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
and last but not least..<br />
<br />
LOWRY- These are just classic frames that everyone needs in their closet. I just feel like over-sized black frames are a must have! They just go with EVERYTHING!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggB9agHT4HQnNEA1aBOI4ljlC4iE_ZiGMzBDR-5joTwq37WP3qaWz28YLctK9R3067OqPKmdysmbhMsFj8kURDzxr6PIDjtE0mraYSjp3UmZXewP9gO0JE4jlxMlWyLqubk5AP_lhThH_Y/s1600/Lowry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggB9agHT4HQnNEA1aBOI4ljlC4iE_ZiGMzBDR-5joTwq37WP3qaWz28YLctK9R3067OqPKmdysmbhMsFj8kURDzxr6PIDjtE0mraYSjp3UmZXewP9gO0JE4jlxMlWyLqubk5AP_lhThH_Y/s320/Lowry.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Check out all their new styles and colors at Warby Parker's sunglasses. I'm debating on which frames I should purchase this summer. I can't decide between Welty, Wilder, Chamberlain, Theo, or Orson. Which ones are your favorites? I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.<br />
<br />
Have a good day Lovies!<br />

I found these in the dollar bins at Target thanks to <a href="http://www.homesweetruby.com/">Cait @ Home Sweet Ruby</a>. I can't wait to plant some herbs and you can't beat the $3 price tag!<br />

I was totally down with the $12.99 price tag. I thought the fabric would have been a little thicker. It's a bit thinner than I would have liked but for the price.. I'm going to keep it. I don't see the point in spending a lot on something that is going to have sunscreen, sweat, and lord knows what else on it.<br />

Another week is almost gone. Here are my confession for the week!<br />
<br />
I confess.. I convinced my hubby to do a mud mask with me last week. He would kill me if he saw this! He hid my phone and every other device that could possibly take a picture. He also complained the entire time but I got a good laugh out of it!<br />
<br />
I confess.. That I have been thinking I want another baby. My husband cringes at this thought and is adamant he's done. (More on this another day)<br />
<br />
I confess.. That Easter Sunday wore me out! I mean two families for 2 different meals an hour and a half away from each other in one day is crazy but with two babies?! Mommy was dragging on Monday! Even the sitter said the boys didn't act like themselves on Monday.<br />
<br />
I confess.. That I've started to do dinner with girlfriends again during the week. It's both hard and freeing all at the same time. I didn't want to leave them originally but I think Mommy needs a break occasionally too. Plus it gives Daddy some time alone with them :).<br />
<br />
I confess.. That I shed a few tears last week morning taking the boys 6 month update pictures... time PLEASE slow down!<br />
<br />
I confess.. That I continue to eat like crap at work. I haven't been lunch planning at all and I just walk the aisles of Target and buy junk food. Someone please smack me!<br />
<br />
I confess.. That I'm ready for the boy's baptism to be over with. I used to love events but the stress of cleaning before AND after is getting to this Mommy. I don't want the boys crawling or in their case rolling around after 25 people have been walking around my house. Just how it is..<br />
<br />
I confess.. That a part of me is sad that we have started sleep training the boys. The night time feedings were where I got the sweetest cuddles and snuggles. Happy to get more sleep but sad that my babies are growing up way too fast!<br />
<br />
I confess.. That I've already started planning the boys 1st birthday party. If the next 6 months flies by like the first, I'm in trouble! Ha!<br />
<br />
I confess.. That sleep training is hard. Especially when my child screams bloody murder on and off for almost 2 hours. I considered dropping the boys off at the sitter and calling in sick today but I gave in and came in. I may or may not be asleep at my desk!<br />
<br />
Happy Thursday Lovies!<br />

<br />
As usual fun thing fly by! Easter was no different. The Hubs was off on Friday and kept the boys. Mommy had to work :(. I decided I wanted to get a picture of the boys with the Easter bunny. I got my Hubs to meet me at Bass Pro Shop (I didn't have to ask twice to go there!). I had heard they had free.. you heard that right.. FREE. There was a line when we got there but it moved soo fast! They did a good job and we will definitely go again. They even let my MIL snap some of her own pictures! The boys had refused to nap for my Hubs so they are kinda in a daze but I'll take it!<br />
<br />

Saturday this Mommy and both boys were struggling. My allergies are in full force and I basically spent the whole day on the couch. My inlaws came over to see the boys and I was still in pajamas, no shower, and no makeup. Sad part is.. I felt too bad to care.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luckily Sunday morning I felt a bit better. The boys seemed to be feel better despite still having runny noses. I mean just look at these cute faces with their Easter baskets!</div>

Anyone else feeling like they are dragging ass this week?!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I confess</b> I haven't cooked one single meal in probably months. This is so NOT like me! With two babes to feed and entertain, feeding Mommy and Daddy has taken a back seat. Maybe it will help us lose weight.. Bahahaha!<br />
<br />
<b>I confess</b> that I loathe losing an hour of sleep! The time change has really thrown our entire family for a loop. I'm so far beyond tired it's not even funny!<br />
<br />
<b>I confess</b> that I've developed a golden oreo addiction. I bought some a on hungry shopping spree a week ago and they have been hiding in my desk at work. I can't eat just one.. help!<br />
<br />
<b>I confess</b> that I didn't even realize I was registered to vote in our new house district (ok.. 3 years but still). Luckily a coworker forced me to look it up and I actually voted yesterday.<br />
<br />
<b>I confess</b> that I still tear up thinking about my boys while I'm at work or away from them. Time is flying by so fast and I feel like I miss so much!<br />
<br />
<b>I confess</b> that I NEED a new wardrobe including shoes. My dang feet have grown since having the boys.. sigh..worst nightmare comes true! I've lost all my weight plus a but nothing fits the same. I mean NOTHING!<br />
<br />
<b>I confess</b> that I didn't get a raise this year at work. The first time this has EVER happened in the 10 years I've been here and it's hard to stay motivated lately. I have a ton of work going but I find myself worrying or thinking about my boys.<br />
<br />
<b>I confess</b> that I quickly peruse blogs during free moments at work and think I comment in my head but actually don't. I blame it on the lack of sleep.<br />
<br />
<b>I confess</b> that I completely forgot that St.Patrick's Day was this week and wore a cute green outfit on Tuesday. I may or may not be wearing it again today. But I did remember the boys- see below! Now someone go drink a green beer for me!<br />

Time keeps flying by! You boys are so much fun these days. Watching you try new foods and see new things is amazing. You both are so entranced by everything going on around you. Are both becoming very sweet of each other. If you're on your Twin Z pillow most of the time you're holding hands. You are cooing back and forth and definitely notice when one is doing something the other isn't (aka eating!). I hope you stay little buddies forever! </div>
